Strato Flite EM in the house

Just picked up a Williams 4 player EM pinball a couple of days ago.  She was dead.  Added a fuse
and got  her at least breathing.  The playfield is in very good shape.  The cabinet is decent and the backglass is okay, no flaking or anything but some magic marker was put on her.
Here is video number one

EM Marks after tourney

Here is a short video of EM Marks house after the tourney before everyone got there.

Michigan EM Tourney yesterday

Qualifying was from 10:30 AM until 4:00 PM.  I did not get to Crazy Carls until about 2:45.

The top 10 qualifiers got to by pass the first few rounds of single elimination best of 3.  Points where for scoring in the top 5 on any of the machines.  I scored 2nd high on Fire Queen.  I rolled it twice and the only person to beat me was Trent Augustene who just finished 12th at the IFPA World Pinball championships and is ranked 7th in the world right now.  See the world rankings by  clicking here.  Here is a pic of me after rolling here twice.



Anyways I finished 13th in qualifying with this score and needed to score on any other machine to get in the top 10.  I had another great game on another machine but came up 300 points short and had to to go to the single elimination playoffs.  I beat Todd N in 3 games on Fire Queen but came up short against Scott I in my next match.  I met a fellow Canuck , Matthew F. from Sarnia at the tourney.
He is the dude on the left.  He does some graphic work for PBR. 

Here is a short vid of me rolling Fire Queen twice.  First guy in the vid is Trent A (ranked 7th in the world and 12 th at the world championships).  Next up is Todd S (Gravitar on RGP).  The guy with the cut off shirt is Andy R  (ranked 13th in the world and 2nd at the world championships).  Next to him is Koz who is running the Michigan Pinball Open coming up in July.
